O
mnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui réspicis terram et facis eam trémere: parce metuéntibus, propitiáre supplícibus; ut, cujus iram terræ fundaménta concutiéntem expávimus, cleméntiam contritiónes ejus sanántem júgiter sentiámus. Per Dóminum.Collect
A
lmighty and everlasting God, who by a glance dost make the earth tremble, spare the fearful, be propitious to the suppliant, that we may feel Thy mercy healing our afflictions; whose anger we fear rending the foundations of the earth. Through our Lord.Secreta
D
eus, qui fundásti terram super stabilitátem suam, súscipe oblatiónes et preces pópuli tui: ac, treméntis terræ perículis pénitus amoris, divínæ tuæ iracúndiæ terróres in humánæ salútis remédia convérte; ut,qui de terra sunt et in terram reverténtur, gaudeant se fíeri sancta conversatióne cœléstes. Per Dóminum.Secret
O
God who didst establish the earth in its firmness, accept the prayers of Thy people, and with the danger of a trembling earth at an end turn the terror of Thy divine wrath into a remedy of human salvation, that we who are of the earth and back to the earth must return may rejoice to become heavenly by a holy manner of life. Through our Lord.Postcommunio

uére nos, Dómine, quǽsumus, tua sancta suméntes: et terram, quam vídimus nostris iniquitátibus treméntem, supérno munere firma; ut mortálium corda cognóscant, et te indignánte tália flagélla prodíre, et te miseránte cessáre. Per Dóminum nostrum.Postcommunion
K
eep us, O Lord, we beseech Thee, as we partake of Thy Sacrament: and quiet by Thy divine power the earth quaking; because of our sins that the hearts of mortal men may know that these scourges are caused by Thy wrath and stopped by Thy mercy. Through our Lord.
